HAIR-WAVER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 28, 192th Application led September 27, 1919. Serial No. 326,932.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that we, ALBERT NIX and FREDERICK IsIDoRE NIX, subjects of the King of Great Britain, residing at Chester, in the county of Cheshire, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-llavers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in hair wavers. It is the object of the invention to provide a hair Waver which will enable the user to wave her own hair with certainty and eiiiciency. The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure l shows the waving member, and

Fig. 2 shows the heating' member.

In these drawings, 2 is a holder which may be made of wood or similar non-con ducting;` material provided with a .metallic end 3 and a hollow metallic tubular member 4:, the butt 5 of which is secured upon the holder. The tubular member 4 may bemade of an aluminium alloy or other suitable metal, and this member is preferably round in cross-section and tapering slightly outward from the butt toward the open end.

The detachable heating element consists of a wooden or other holder 9 which may be provided with a metallic end l0, and this holder carries a preferably tapered metallic heating element 8 which is conveniently made oi copper.

In operation the user holds the waving member in her left hand by means or' the handle 2. A tape 6, preferably of silk pro vided with a knot ll ispassed through a hole 7 in the butt 5. The hair l is wound iu a spiral upon the tubular element fl, and this hair is then secured in position by spirally winding thereon the tape 6. The end of the tape may be passed back over the outside of the coil and held by the left hand of the operator on the butt 5.

The heating element 8 is then heated to a comparatively high temperature and inserted within the hollow portion of the tubular member 4. In this way the tubular member is heated to a sufficiently high temperature, but without overheating the hair and it is found that rapid and extremely satisfactory waving is thus produced.

Ve claim as our inventiont- A hair Waver comprising a holder, a metallic tube having a perforated butt, a dctaohable heating element and silk ribbon adapted to pass through the perforation in said butt.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto signed our names this 3rd day eff September, 1919, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
